Steps:
- Set oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (you will most likely need two baking sheets for 16 pastries).
- Roll out one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface into a 12x10-inch rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise (I use a pizza cutter for this).
- Cut each half crosswise into four 5x3-inch strips (for a total of 8 strips).
- Spread each strip with about 1/2 tablespoon apricot jam, then fold the strips in half lengthwise to form 1-1/2-inch wide strips.
- Twist each strip 3 times, then place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining puff pastry (you should have 16 pastries when done, you might have to use two baking sheets.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer the twists to a rack.
- In a small bowl whisk together confectioners sugar, whipping cream and lemon juice; brush over the warm pastries.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 (5- by 3-inch) strips (for a total of 8 strips).
- Spread each strip with 1/2 tablespoon jam, then fold strips in half lengthwise to form 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Twist each strip 3 times and place on baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer twists to a rack set over a sheet of parchment. Stir together confectioners sugar, cream, and lemon juice until smooth, then brush over warm twists. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh apricots for the best flavor. If fresh apricots are unavailable, you can use frozen or dried apricots. If using frozen apricots, thaw them completely before using.
- To make the apricot filling, you can either chop the apricots by hand or use a food processor. If using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the apricots, or they will become too mushy.
- When rolling the dough, be sure to roll it out evenly so that the twists are all the same size. If the dough is too thick, the twists will be too doughy. If the dough is too thin, the twists will be too crispy.
- Bake the twists until they are golden brown. If the twists are not baked long enough, they will be too soft. If the twists are baked too long, they will be too dry.
- Serve the twists warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Glazed apricot twists are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their flaky, buttery crust and sweet, tart apricot filling, these twists are sure to be a hit.
